What looks like an ordinary row of street vendors in Washington Heights is, in reality, an illegal outdoor pharmacy, according to the NY Post. Along roughly half a mile of St. Nicholas Avenue, between West 179th and West 183rd streets, vendors openly sell prescription medications from folding tables, offering everything from antibiotics and pain medications to erectile dysfunction pills and over-the-counter remedies. Prescription drugs are being sold without prescriptions, without any verification of authenticity, and often after sitting outside for hours in the summer heat. During multiple visits, vendors continued selling medications in plain sight despite a visible police presence nearby. Some neighbors said they were stunned that prescription drugs could be sold so openly while enforcement appeared minimal.
